The sonorous and powerful voice resounded in the hall, and the echo lingered in the hall, causing the old man to raise his eyebrows. He originally thought that even if Xiao Chen admitted it, he would be secretive about it. He did not expect Xiao Chen to be so open and straightforward without any concealment.
Looking at Xiao Chen standing there with his back straight like a spear and his eyes full of vigor, even the old man could not help but praise him as an unparalleled hero in his heart!
He subconsciously ignored the fact that this young man was the patriarch of a tribe with tens of thousands of people. He was a hot-blooded martial artist who had once raised the prestige of his tribe in the Outer Domain at the age of 20 and slaughtered an entire foreign tribe in a fit of rage.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was so direct, the old man did not beat around the bush and began to talk about their origins. "My name is Hu Gu Yue. The two of us came from the Eastern Continent's Flowing Cloud Domain's Moon Shepherd Tribe. We have been traveling the continent for several years. Today, we suddenly smelled the fragrance of pills in the Gu Yuan Tribe and were happy to hunt, so we came to visit."
"Flowing Cloud Domain, Moon Shepherd Tribe."
Hearing the old man's introduction, Xiao Chen lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Sure enough, their origins were not small. Any high-rank tribe, even the weakest high-rank tribe, Gu Yuan was just an ant-like existence in their eyes. High-rank tribes could be said to be a watershed. If one wanted to become a high-rank tribe, then there must be a Heavenly Building martial artist in the tribe. This was a martial artist who could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, break rivers with a single strike, and shift mountains and rivers.
Xiao Chen's heart was in a mess as he constantly thought about the old man's intentions. Don't blame Xiao Chen for gauging the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. After all, a Heavenly Building martial artist had suddenly come here and paid a visit in such a friendly manner. He had no choice but to be careful.
With such strength and a high-level pharmacist, what could the Gu Yuan Tribe have that could enter the old man's eyes? Taking a step back, even if there was, in the face of absolute strength, he, Xiao Chen, had no choice but to obediently hand it over.
The vast world was a dog-eat-dog place. Justice and kindness would not work. Gu Yuan was innocent, but treasuring a jade ring was a crime!
What's more, which of the Heavenly Building Realm martial artists didn't fight their way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Their state of mind had already reached perfection. Bloody slaughter could be said to have long been unable to arouse their fluctuations.
Just as Xiao Chen was anxiously trying to think of a way to deal with this, the old man's next words allowed him to relax.
"Patriarch Xiao, this old man is being presumptuous. I can see that you already have an alchemy heritage at such a young age. May I ask who your master is?"
Hearing the old man's question, Xiao Chen finally understood why the old man had been so polite ever since he entered. It turned out that the old man thought he had an illusory master.
The old man's thoughts were not wrong. Alchemy heritage was very rare on the continent. In addition to having a strong soul perception, one also needed an inheritance. After all, horses of a thousand li were common, but Bo Le was rare. Many martial artists spent their entire lives searching for an alchemy heritage but failed. In the end, they lived their entire lives in vain for a hundred years.
To be able to train Xiao Chen into a true alchemist at such a young age and carve an unpolished jade into a fine product, what kind of existence would the person behind him be? Coupled with the fact that Xiao Chen had a request, this was also the reason why the old man was so humble.
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Chen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He did not seem to realize that his entire body had become clear, and the pressure he had unknowingly left his body.
Since the old man thought that he had a mysterious master, of course, he would not explain anything. Making the best of a mistake was the most practical thing to do.
"Hehe, in their hearts, this patriarch is also a second generation alchemy master!"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but curse the old man in his mind, but his face did not show any of it. Instead, he followed the old man's words and said: "My apologies, my master is an enlightened master. He often appears and disappears without a trace, and his whereabouts are erratic. This one has not seen him for half a month."
While speaking, Xiao Chen watched the old man's expression change. As for the sulking young man on the side, he had subconsciously ignored him.
"If Senior has any matters, wait until the next time my master returns, this one will definitely report to him. If my master … Haha, then this one is powerless."
Since the old man had created such a great backing for him, Xiao Chen naturally would not let him use it. He was using the tiger's skin to cover his face, and his mouth was full of lies and excuses. In short, this patriarch had to report to his master before making a decision, but his master was not here and his return date was unknown.
The old man heard this and gently nodded. He did not doubt Xiao Chen's words at all. The old monsters of the continent had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. After such a long time, no one would know that they would have all sorts of hobbies. It was normal for their eccentric thoughts to be erratic and unpredictable.
After pondering for a moment, the old man opened his mouth again: "If this is the case, then this old man can only disturb your noble department for a few more days. Even though this old man's knowledge of alchemy is not proficient, after several decades, I still have some insights. If there is time, I would like to sit down and discuss the dao with Patriarch Xiao and explore the secret pill treasury together."
His tone carried a hint of arrogance. There was a saying that those who have a strong point in their studies would definitely be proficient in it. The old man was quite confident in his understanding of the dao of alchemy.
The corner of his lips curled into a smile. At this moment, Xiao Chen's heart was blooming with joy. Even though he had a supreme inheritance, he was still like a blind man groping an elephant. Today, there was a grandmaster level character coming to him, so how could he not be excited?
Making a fortune in silence was the way of the king!
Since the old man had expressed his intentions, Xiao Chen naturally had to reciprocate. He opened his mouth and pretended to ask: "I wonder what Senior wants?
Xiao Chen will do his best. "
Hearing this, the old man turned to look at the young man next to him and sighed softly. After a moment of silence, he said: "Ai … 16 years ago, when Yun Tian was just born, he encountered the Heavenly Dog's Day of Eclipse. He was tortured by the Yin energy of the world and the coldness seeped into his bones. After all these years, the coldness in his body has already condensed into a form of ice, causing his body to become weak and unable to cultivate."
Only now did Xiao Chen turn his gaze towards the young man that he had forgotten. Looking at him, he finally found the difference between this young man and a normal person.
The youth's face was pale and powerless, and there was a faint purple mark on his lips. His frail body trembled from time to time, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes. Even though he was suffering from the bone-chilling pain, he still clenched his teeth and remained silent. His determination could be seen clearly.
"In order to find a solution, I have spent countless resources and energy. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, we must persevere. Patriarch Xiao, Patriarch Xiao …"
The old man had discovered that the originally focused Xiao Chen had fallen into a state of absent-mindedness.
"Yang Fusion!"
After carefully observing the young man's condition and the old man's narration, a prescription appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
This Yang Fusion Pill used the thousand-year-old Sky Sun Flower as the main ingredient. It could remove the Yin deficiency in the body and prevent evil wind from entering the body, freezing the meridians and melting the frost in the depths of the bones.
After being awakened by the old man, Xiao Chen hurriedly apologized and suppressed his thoughts. He said: "To think that even the Grandmaster is helpless. This coldness is so vicious. When Xiao Chen sees Master, I will definitely tell him the truth and see if Master has a way to remove the coldness in little brother's body."
"Who is your little brother? Don't try to make connections!"
When Mu Yuntian heard Xiao Chen casually address him as Little Brother without saying anything, he immediately became upset and retorted.
In response to the young man's rebuttal, the old man and Xiao Chen smiled at each other and did not say anything, which made Mu Yuntian very unhappy.
The old man gently rubbed his wrist and a roll of animal skin appeared in his hand. He handed it to Xiao Chen and said: "Sorry to trouble you, Patriarch Xiao. This is a Human Tier Upper Rank martial art, the Pure Yuan Art. Consider it a token of my appreciation."
"A storage bracelet."
Looking at the animal skin roll that suddenly appeared in the old man's hand, Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he had seen a storage treasure other than his own space. But when he thought about the old man's strength and the fact that he came from an Upper Rank Tribe, everything seemed reasonable.
"Well said, well said."
Taking the animal skin roll with both hands, Xiao Chen's face was like a flower as he hurriedly agreed. It was really like someone giving him a pillow when he was dozing off. His original martial art had already been overwhelmed, and this Human Tier Upper Rank martial art was just right for him.
The matter had not been settled yet, but he had already received the deposit. However, he also knew that this Human Tier Upper Rank martial art might be nothing in the eyes of the old man. At the end of the day, it was because Xiao Chen's strength was too weak. Thinking of this, his originally excited mood also became a little gloomy.
Xiao Chen stood up and sent the two people out of the house, which attracted everyone's attention. With Xiao Chen's current prestige, there were only a few people in the Gu Yuan Tribe who could make him bow and send them off. Moreover, the two people in front of him were obviously not from the Gu Yuan Tribe. This caused everyone to discuss and guess their identities.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to turn around and return to the house, a voice came from behind him, "Tribe Leader Xiao, are the prisoners of war that you ordered to be slaughtered guilty?"
The originally noisy street suddenly became dead silent. Everyone broke into a cold sweat for the person who had spoken. This young man actually dared to question the tribe leader, Xiao Chen, in such a manner. Even the guards at the door looked at Xiao Chen, waiting for his order to capture this young man who had disrespected the tribe leader.
Xiao Chen did not move. After pausing for a moment, he laughed loudly and said, "They are too weak. This is their crime!"
In the vast world, natural selection was the law of the jungle, and killing intent was everywhere. Being weak was a sin!
